The best quality sushi you can find in Durham. Everyone nowadays loves the ACYE cause of the variety and selection. Most people have never had the pleasure of a la Carte Sushi to understand the difference. The Chef takes his time with each roll and ensures the ratio, quality and ascetic are of all high quality. So if you're looking for better quality as opposed to mass quantity this is the place.
I usually order the Sushi Rolls and my wife has the Sashimi. We've has the Teriyaki lunch specials before but prefer the sushi.
My family and I eat at Kobo often and its probably one of the best Japanese restaurants around here! Their sushi is always really high quality and their other dishes are delicious. The staff are kind and the service is fast. Definitely recommend it to anyone.
Return visit. The restaurant is in an unassuming location but when you find a nice spot you just go. My staple order is the Daily Seafood Tempura and KOBO Omakase Sushi. The tempura badder is thick and the dipping sauce has a wonderful hint of ginger. The sushi omakase is at a great price and excellently executed. I enjoyed hamachi, sake, maguro, ika, ebi and was surprised with the contents of the lobster roll. My wife ordered the seafood udon and the broth was spot on with fresh noodles. This is a great Japanese run restaurant that draws me out to Pickering often. 90%
Wow what a hidden gem in pickering! Delicious food, the chef is Japanese which is great since not a lot of sushi is made by Japanese chefs nowadays. Would definitely go back!
I can not even express to how much I love place. There is something magical in their unagi handrolls that make me want to crawl inside them and live forever within the living confines of it's deliciousness. The lunch special bento box is amazing. Amazing food and amazing price (especially since there's so much and its so delicious!). Go there! Get the unagi handroll! I promise you wont be disappointed - unless your allergic to seafood...
It's a hidden gem in an understated plaza. Very unassuming. Menu is unique and creative, unlike the masses of Japanese restaurants downtown that cannot be distinguished from one another. Went on a Friday for dinner and it was a full house, partly due to the limited seating; patience is necessary as they seem to put a lot of care in their food. The chef is Japanese.

Best Sushi in the burbs. There are so many sushi places, most of the "all-you-can-eat" places have really gone downhill like Makimono, but Kobo is different.
Surprised by the fact that we can get such good quality sushi so close to home in Pickering.
They use top quality fish, which is expertly presented and so beautiful you almost don't want to eat it! The sashimi, my fave, is so good, even the garnishes like the minced onions, real pickled ginger (not the standard pink stuff....why is that anyway?) and even the way they cut the fish is incredible. They also have amazing gyoza dumplings, hand-made from scratch - not frozen. Their special rolls, like spider or dragon rolls, are also excellent, lots of filling and not too much rice. My other fave is their house special avocado and lobster hand-rolls.....I can eat a plateful of them they are so delicious!
Their prices are also higher than average, so we don't get to eat here often.
The service is always great, they play really nice music, and the decor is very plain. Don't let the decor scare you off.......the food is top quality.
This is my favourite sushi place in the GTA and I am so lucky I live only 5 minutes away!
Best Japanese Food Around. I've lived in the area for several years and didn't even know this place existed! I'm glad I know now...
Absolutely amazing. The food, service and presentation of the food reminds me of Japan. Highly recommended if you are into fresh and delicious quality foods!
Great sushi and service. Cozy ambiance. Fresh fish and perfect cuts and insane fried chicken.
Excellent service. Very friendly staff.
The food was really good and fresh, felt very homemade. Great little restaurant!
Kobo is on my list for top 5 favourite restaurants. The beef sukiyaki udon, garden salad and tempura is my go to order at least once a week. If you are looking for traditional delicious Japanese food I would definitely recommend this place…one of the best!
Impressed... amazing food quality. Proper sake. Decent service. Come into this place out of random.
Food is prepared "right" down to detail. Not some "poser" Japanese restaurant. Did not expect.
This is possibly one of the best for this price point.
Good quality food. Small portions, but not overpriced. Will return as my wife is a fan. Interior is basic. It's about fresh, authentic ( I believe, my wife is Korean and we are pretty sure chef was Japanese) food. It's not fancy. You don't leave overly full. That's good sometimes. You leave feeling good.
Service excellent. The seafood and avocado salad was fresh and delicious. The miso soup is sold separately but it’s worth it.
Little hidden place in Pickering. Always quality fish and such nice people. Support local!
